Onela

Onela was the King of the Swedes in 530, succeeding Ohthere and preceding Eadgils. Onela was the son of King Ongentheow and the brother of King Ohthere, and Onela and Ohthere pillaged Geatland after King Hrethel of the Geats' death. Onela would usurp the throne after his brother's death in 530, and he slew his nephew Eanmund after he fled to the Geatish court. However, King Beowulf of the Geats helped his other nephew Eadgils slay Onela and take power as King of the Swedes, avenging Ohthere's death.
